Zambia is a destination which attracts adventurous travellers in search of wilderness. Animal lovers and photographers are spoilt. Many day or night safaris, walking or jeep safaris are on offer to have the chance to watch elephants, lions, hippopotamus, giraffes, buffalos, zebras, rare birds…

It has a tropical climate with high temperatures and humidity the whole year round.

Located between 8 African countries, Zambia is crossed by a few rivers: The Kafue River, the Congo River and the Luangwa River. A canoe ride along one of them is an incredible experience.

The currency of Zambia is the Kwacha (ZMK) and English is the official language. Different dialects are also widely spoken.

Zambia is ideal for honeymoon and amazing luxury holidays with friends and family.

Staying in a luxurious villa along Zambia’s rivers is a memorable experience.
